Most Anticipated Reads of the First Half of 2021 + Reading Goals

January 5, 2021 by Megan 5 Comments

I love this time of year! It’s full of possibilities… and in this case, it means 2020 is officially behind us too. I’m trying not to have huge expectations for 2021, but I’m just hoping it’s even the littlest bit better than last year. At least we know there will be good books!

I’ve scoped out 10 books I’m most looking forward to reading, plus of course, some honorable mentions because it was really hard getting it down to just 10. These all look really promising — some interesting debuts and new stories from old favorites. I also put together a list of 5 reading goals for this year, mostly just to keep myself accountable. I really need to read my shelves, guys.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Covers with Fall Vibes

October 6, 2020 by Megan 7 Comments

It’s finally (already?) October! I’m sure I’m not alone in the feeling that 2020 has somehow been both the longest and shortest year so far. Anyway, fall is definitely underway in Michigan. We had what was probably our last 70-degree day on the last weekend in September, and it’s been chilly and a little bit rainy ever since. It’s wonderful cozy-up-with-a-book weather.

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is mostly aesthetic, focusing on book covers with fall vibes, but per usual I'll share just a few thoughts on each pick today — even though I picked them for their looks, their contents are what’s important.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Make Me Hungry

September 1, 2020 by Megan 4 Comments

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books That Make Me Hungry… honestly, at this point that could almost be every book. I’m always looking for food mentions when I read; it’s the nature of the beast. A couple of years ago I participated in the topic Yummy Food Mentioned in Books, so I’ll try to avoid choosing the same ones here. Like I said there are a lot of books that make me hungry…

Let’s get to it!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I've Loved but Never Reviewed

August 4, 2020 by Megan 7 Comments

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is an interesting one. And, actually, it’s next week’s topic, but I’ll be doing my reading recap then, so I thought I’d get ahead of it. Anyway, I’ll be sharing my list of 10 books I’ve loved but never reviewed.

There are a few reasons I haven’t reviewed the books on this list, mostly that they didn’t have a food tie-in, and I always pair my reviews with recipes. Some, though, I read before I started blogging and haven’t gotten around to re-reading… and will I? It’s hard to say. For others, life got in the way. Still, all of these books are great and I suggest you check them out.

Without further ado:

July 7, 2020 by Megan 3 Comments

Well, so far, it doesn’t seem as though my goal to be less sporadic in my Top Ten Tuesday participation is really tracking… but I’m back with an important installment today: My 10 Most Anticipated Books of the Second Half of 2020. This was last week’s topic, but I was a part of a blog tour scheduled for the same day, so I couldn’t participate. I still really wanted to share these amazing-looking books with you — two of which come out today! Get your TBRs ready!

February 4, 2020 by Megan 4 Comments

My goal for this year is to be less sporadic in my Top Ten Tuesday participation (as was the case last year). But, I’m starting out a little behind and choosing the topic from about a month ago… I was a little preoccupied with the new baby to get it together to blog, but I really want to share my Most Anticipated Releases of the First Half of 2020 with you! I had some trouble narrowing down to 10, so I’ve got an initial list for you, plus 5 honorable mentions. Honestly, though, they all sound amazing.

Without further adieu…
